I am a retired RF/microwave engineer who got back into ham radio after a 40 years brake. Being a hands-on person I wanted to make something, but all the good things have been done in radios. I turned to antennas and now have a good setup. The most new improvement I could make would be about 3 dB. I wanted more. I learned how PSK-31 works and realized how the power of a computer could make radios better. Because I have dyslexia, I only enjoy contacts by phone. My paper http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dggwnj3m_36f6v95d3c&hl=en is the fastest way to improve my station as well as improving ham radio for everyone. No one knows when the next F2 layer will open, so 6 meter EME is my way into DX.
